siderable excitement was occasioned
this morning, when shortly before 10
O'Clock the Citizens Savings Bank
closed its doors. A large crowd soon
gathered in front of the door, and
word was whispered around that the
president of the institution, Z. z.
Clement, was a defaulter in a large
amount and had absconded. Subse-
ouent developments confirmed the
rumor. Clement left the town
on Monday night for St
Louis, ostensibly on business for
the bank. Yesterday, when w. b.
SIosson, one of the banks directors,
was examining the records IN the
county Office, he noticed that a large
amount of real estate in the city be-
longing to Clement had been
transferred to his (Clement's)
prother-in-Iaw. one Cbinery. Slos-
son suspected something was wrong,
and he later in the day consulted

that Chinery made complete transfer
of Clements real estate in favor of the
bank, amounting in all to about $50, 600.
This transfer was obtained through the
efforts of the president, 6. w.

amount of the defalcation is I'M
known, but it is variously esti-
mated at from $4,000 to $4,000.

that the bank had made an as

ANOTHER SQUABBLE
About Seal Fishing in Alaska

AND THE CAPTURED VESSEL
The JanRle Among the Knights-The

Fiend Less-EtO.
The Alaska Seal Fisheries.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The Secretary
of the Treasury has received mail ad-
vices from Captain Shepard, command =
ing the revenue steamer Rush, in regard
to his visit in Alaskan waters, and from
these reports it appears the schooners
Onward, Thornton and adelaide, cap
tured by the COraVin last summer, are still
moored in Alaska. On the 25th OF June.
Captain Shepard boarded and examined
the steam schooner Kate and Annie of
Portland, Oregon, Captain Lutzens
master, ten miles northeast off st:
George Island, in Behring's. The vessel
boats and all the necessary implements
master admitted the vessel was
on a sealing voyage and had
on board six sealskins which
he said were taken before he entered
Behring's Straits. Captain Shepard in
formed him that in taking seal in the
part of Behring's, claimed by the United
States, or i'll the Territory of Alaska or
waters, that he was violating the laws
of the United States, and if he was
caught doing so he would be arrested,
and the vessel seized, but he promised to
obey the law and the vessels parted
company. Captain Shepard says he
made this report because of the fact
that special treasury agent g.. Il.
Jingle, in charge of the Seal Islands
of Alaska, has expressed his opinion
of the law to be: THAT a YES
sci manned, armed and provided
with implements for taking seal
and salt for curing the same, found in
the waters of the Territory of Alaska,
or that part of Behring's claimed by the
United States, were liable to seizure,
though not found in the act of taking
seal, and without other evidence than
they had taken seals in the waters
named. Though evidence OF in
tention of violating the. laws in
regard to taking seal when OPP
portunity afforded, says Captain
Shepard, / understand l Go not FEEL
warranted IN Selling vessels or making
arrests until l have unimpeachable
evidence that the law has been violated
Captain Shepard then details the seizure
of the schooners Challenge and AnnO
Beck, recently reported from SaI
Francisco. Assistant Secretary May
nard has telegraphed Captain Shepard
that the department approves
of his action with reference tc
the schooner Kcte and Annie and also
his statement that he does feel war
ranted in Selling vessels until he has
unimpeachable evidence that the Law
has been violated.
